The DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals) program helps immigrant parents
remain in the United States while their
children receive protection and education in
the United States. The DACA program does
not help with the process of receiving
citizenship, but it will definitely benefit their
family with staying in the United States.
There is an application process for the
DACA program and they must apply, and
follow the process in order for them to have
access to that resource. These students will
be able to help their parents become citizens
of the United States by starting the process
of gaining citizenship, at the age of
21.Students must be exposed to diversity
within the classroom by playing games that
bring up the topic of diversity. These games
will lead to healthy, and safe conversations
about culture similarities and differences. It
is important for parents to teach their
children about diversity, and if parents are
not able to do that, then the responsibility
falls under the teacher. A teacher must be
informed about what is going on in the lives
of these children, and it often correlates with
politics at that are occurring in our country.

ABOUT ME:
My name is Jocelyn Nava and I am excited
to become an elementary school teacher. I
remember having the desire to become an
elementary school teacher, ever since I was
a young student. I remember being in third
grade and we were assigned to be buddies
with kindergarteners. Our duty was to help
younger students with school projects, and I
really enjoyed doing that. I also preferred
helping out different classrooms, instead of
going to recess during my last few years at
the elementary school. I was also part of a
program in high school, in which I
volunteered in a first grade class. I ended up
working at four different daycares the same
year I graduated high school. I took the bus
to work in order to get from job to job, and I
was able to realize the fact that I love
working with children as I took those daily
bus trips to work. I am a learner. I love to
learn new things and apply them into my
life. I know that applying things we learn
will benefit our life, and the life of others. I
am an initiator. I accomplish things the very
best I can. I do not let things I have control
over, stop me
from pursuing
the goal I have
in mind. I also
think that
making
connections
helps me be
sympathetic,
and empathetic
towards others.
I always have a
desire to make
